Hi. Call when you are ready to start to have the life that you want. Each client is treated in a way that is specific to that individual. Even though many people share similar issues the way the issues are experienced is unique to the person who is experiencing it. Anyone can have a better existence through the exploration of their inner dynamics and the purpose that the style of functioning serves. People can get what they want out of life if they allow themselves to do that. No obstacle is too big to overcome. Things can be different if you want them to be.

Joseph Campbell wrote that, "Opportunities to find deeper power within ourselves come when life seems most challenging." I applaud the courage it takes to reach out for help, knowing that our first reaction to debilitating fear, pain, and life challenges is often to try to ignore or avoid it. Therapy is an opportunity to suffer less and thrive more, and undergo transformation in the context of a safe and supportive environment.

Waitlist for new clients
I am a seasoned clinician based in Brooklyn specializing in complex trauma and those suffering from or adjacent to someone with cancer. Somatic tools like EMDR and DBR are supported by an attachment based, interactive approach. Psychodynamic therapy helps us identify what's under the surface to tackle old habits, default behaviors, cognitive distortions that can cause symptoms like anxiety or depression. Trauma can be debilitating until you learn strategies to weaken its hold. Therapy is a partnership to strengthen your sense of self, create sustainable skills to cope with stressors, and feel effective in meeting your own needs.

My ideal client is navigating complex relational trauma—often alongside ADHD, anxiety, or codependency. They may feel stuck, disconnected, or uncertain how to move forward despite self-awareness and effort. Their past may include family conflict, emotional neglect, or shame around identity and belonging. I work with adults of all backgrounds, honoring each person’s full identity—including gender, culture, and sexuality—while helping them build trust in themselves and create meaningful, grounded connection.

As a psychotherapist and psychoanalyst, I am interested in how relationships heal and transform individuals. I work closely with my patients to illuminate areas in which they feel disconnected from others, and then together, we come up with ways to bridge those gaps. I have specialties in work with survivors of incest and sexual abuse, couples counseling and parenting issues, lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer adolescents and adults, as well as experience working with dissociation due to trauma.

Have you been to therapy in the past? Perhaps you worked with a traditional talk therapist, gained considerable awareness, yet at the root things have not changed. Maybe therapy has been helpful in some ways, but you have not felt truly seen or met. Does your current struggle feel bigger than you at times? Perhaps it feels connected to trauma of previous generations but you can't explain why. Trauma is an energy that remains stuck in the body and gets passed down genetically- until acknowledged and felt. To heal from trauma/PTSD/C-PTSD, we need to understand how the body holds trauma as well as the wisdom and route towards healing.

At QuIPP, we are queer, non-binary, depth-oriented, feminist, and trauma-informed. Our therapeutic approaches include CBT, DBT, and psychodynamic and we seek to explore the deep impacts of others (familial, peer, and social) on the minds and spirits of our clients. Our clinical areas of expertise include: gender & sexuality, trauma, transition related support, and poly/kinky & sex positivity. Given that trauma and emotional pain often originate within relationships, we take a relational (and deeply compassionate) approach to therapy.

I believe that the most important element in an effective therapy is a genuine connection between the patient and therapist. My approach in therapy is interactive, supportive and empathic. I view psychotherapy as a creative process and my patients as co-partners in the psychotherapeutic process.

Did you wake up this morning and wish you weren’t alive? Did you look in the mirror and was disappointed at what you saw? Do you find your days interrupted with extreme sadness, or crying? How about getting angry about events and incidents that you would usually let go? Did you get fired or demoted? Is your co-workers giving you a hard time at your place of employment? Is there an individual you love not paying attention to you? Tired of being under the influence? Does your circle make you feel ugly and unwanted? How about your anxiety around family and friends at events and gatherings?

Many of my clients find me because they have tried "everything" and nothing seems to work. With long histories of challenging experiences, negative thought patterns, and emotional overload, it can be hard to know where to start. I help clients get to the root of their issues, learn skills to cope with current distress, and, if needed, process through past traumas. Paying equal attention to mind and body, we work together to bring a sense of calm to both. If you are ready to move beyond traditional "talk therapy", discover the origin of your distress, and experience relief from emotional reactivity or numbness, let's connect.

You might be carrying grief or anxiety that didn’t begin with you—patterns in ancestral stories still unfolding. Maybe you’re navigating life at the intersections of race, queerness, migration, or spiritual awakening, and you’re seeking a healing space that honors all of you.

You might be one who holds it all together — dependable, driven, always thinking ahead. But if you’re honest, the pressure is relentless. You might be navigating stress, perfectionism, or people-pleasing so automatically, you barely notice it anymore — until you feel burned out, disconnected, or like you're performing your life instead of living it. Maybe you find yourself resorting to habits you’re not proud of — behaviors that bring temporary relief but leave you feeling guilty or stuck. I work with people who are intense, thoughtful, and deeply motivated — often admired on the outside, but quietly overwhelmed on the inside.

Dissociative Disorders (DID) Therapists
How does therapy for dissociative disorders work?
Dissociation may be triggered by stress or other upsetting circumstances, and therapy can address the traumatic events at the core of an individual’s dissociation. Understanding why a person may dissociate can help the therapist and the individual come up with alternative methods of coping. A person with a dissociative disorder may get stuck on negative thinking, for example, and treatment like Cognitive behavioral therapy is a gold standard for breaking such thinking. And dialectical behavior therapy, for example, can help a person manage their anguish through better emotion regulation.
Which therapies are best for dissociative disorders?
Specific approaches used by professionals include cognitive behavioral, dialectical behavior, psychodynamic, schema therapies, among others. Cognitive behavioral and dialectical behavior therapies are two widely used therapies that can help individuals with painful memories and past traumas. These therapies work to integrate an individual's different identities into one person.
Are there specific medications for dissociation?
There are no specific medications prescribed for dissociative disorders. However, psychosis, depression, anxiety, and/or panic often co-occur in dissociative disorders. A psychiatrist may prescribe medications for any accompanying symptom—which may include antipsychotics like aripiprazole, antidepressants like selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors, or anti-anxiety drugs like benzodiazepines.
How often and how long are therapy sessions?
Like any type of therapy, sessions depend on the individual. Patients may see improvement within 15 to 20 sessions, at an average of 50 minutes per session, others may opt for 20 to 30 sessions over, perhaps, a six-month period. There are still other patients, especially those who have co-occurring conditions like depression and anxiety, who may need to continue sessions for up to 12 to 18 months.
